Training Camp: 3-Up/3-Down

Latest stock watch from camp:

3-Up:

1.  LB Michael Boley - Several beat writers have commented that the healthy Boley is loving the new system, taking on a leadership role, and making plays. 

2.  CB Aaron Ross - Like Boley, Ross is healthy (for now) and showing the talent that got him drafted as a first rounder.  Seems to be better suited for the zone read-and-react style of Fewell's defense.

3.  CB Terrell Thomas - Not to be outdone, Thomas has been turning heads in camp as well.  This could be a fun battle.

3 - Down:

1.  LT William Beatty - the talk coming into camp was that he was going to challenge David Diehl for the starting LT spot.  Long way to go, but so far he has struggled and not given the coaches any reason to think he will improve the unit.

2.  G Rich Seubert - Despite Beatty's struggles, a broken hand might keep Seubert out for a few weeks, which is a long time for a veteran trying to cling to his starting job. Note: No sooner did I publish this than we got the good news that Seubert should be back next week

3.  LB/LS Zak Deossie  - The usually steady long-snapper is really struggling.  By Ralph Vacchiano's count, he's misfired on at least 14 FG snaps, and recently launched a punt snap way over P Matt Dodge's head.  He's also apparently not even working out with the LB's anymore, so he better fix whatever is ailing him, and fast.

Overall, it is the Defense that is up, and the Offense that is down.  So far everyone seems to agree that the Giants' D is absolutely dominating the O.  Let's hope that's a sign the defense is set for a big year, not that the offense is headed for a set-back.
